Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Thank you for providing the link and quotes!
In France, we have a mix of things. State generally covers 70% of the major public health fundamentals (long duration illness gets 100%), company benefit (provided mostly by non-profits) to complete and for intermediate stuff like orthondontics, and I think some additional private insurance for what's left uncovered.
So I think they may be exaggerating in thinking it's either one or the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_France
